No Affiliation Klipsch Forte IV For Sale | Audiogon  

No Affiliation Pair Klipsch KPT-535/4 3 way "pro Jubilee"... For Sale | Audiogon

You're persuasive, Charlie.  Back in ancient times -- 60 years ago -- I built many a Heathkit and Dynakit.  I still have a shack full of ham radio items that I built from scratch only 5 years ago.  But I know my own limits now, and I never built or messed with a pile of parts that cost $14k.  Nope, while encouragement is always welcome, caution is the present policy for this old man.

Must have been a great store.  One of my favorite record shops ran a couple LaScalas.  My first real exposure to the larger Klipsch speakers.

Hello - I pop in every once in a while looking for ways to improve the sound of my system. My current system is comprised of Khorns with ALK extreme slope x-overs, Volti Mid Range horns with 4592-mid drivers, DE-10 tweeter drivers with CNC tweeter lenses. My Amp is a MA352 McIntosh fed by an RME ADI FS 2 DAC. Music is streamed via a mini PC 16 gig memory AMD Ryzen 7 3750H  with an external power supply. Basically a notebook processor with no keyboard or screen. Controlled by Remote desktop.   I had an in home Demo of a Western Electric 91 E 300B Tube amp. While it did sound slightly better I don't think it sounded $15,000 better, it was subtle maybe a bit warmer. Also demo'd was a Linn music streamer priced at $13,000. I could hear no difference between the streamer and the dac/pc that I currently have.   Tomorrow I am going to a shop to listen to a Furman power conditioner that sells for $2500. Since my house has a basement I can easily pull a 20 amp dedicated circuit for my system and swap out my speaker cables for a newer set. The cables I have are 25 years old and probably need a refresh. Will the 20 amp dedicated circuit make a difference versus the 15amp shared circuit?    Any thoughts?      Rick      

You mean my DHA2 crossovers suck? I really liked them. Josh is sending them back to me since he went active.

They may disappear but I believe they are in this room (on webcam for fun): http://live.audioclassics.com/?cam=2#nav

Heresy!

Please report back with comparisons. Volti is one of the few brands I would consider besides Klipsch. Still thrilled with the sound of my Forte IV's daily. Yes they scratch easily. Other than a slightly recessed midrange and being fussy about placement, the Fortes are the perfect speaker for me. The only speakers I really ever think about owning are Cornwalls, La Scallas or Khorns.
